Cloud services are designed to constantly introduce new and release changes to existing services, so that businesses can leverage these innovations and remain competitive in today’s fast paced digital economy. However, the continuous delivery of service updates thrives a challenge to follow the classic validation and qualification approach.

Challenge
The software must be continuously validated and the validated state must be maintained in the cloud, even if changes are made by the cloud service provider outside of the companies´ change management processes.
Solution

p36 provides a service of continuous cloud service qualification which is a risk-based approach to continuously qualify SAP BTP services for their intended use in the software application.
Our Service Qualification Platform performs integrated and automated testing to detect and respond to changes to the SAP BTP if required.
The testing procedure is performed using a methodology consisting of various elements such as a software application assessment, a functional service assessment, a functional service risk assessment and a test strategy definition, which is outlined in a service qualification plan. Based on the plan, the infrastructure gets qualified initially and then continuously examined.
